The paint splashed logo is a bit of a clue. Husband and wife team Simon and Victoria Maccabe opened this gorgeous cafe/art gallery on East Belfast’s fashionable Belmont Road nearly eight years ago.

They like to think it’s more than a coffee shop – it’s an experience. It’s not everywhere you can appreciate Simon’s grandmother Gladys’ original paintings while enjoying superb food and drink.

Locals love the bodacious breakfasts and gourmet lunches freshly prepared with the best local ingredients. They bake all their own breads, tray bakes, cakes, and famous scones. Their soups, sandwiches and daily specials are filling, delicious and great value.

They open Mon-Sat 8.30-5.00 and Sunday 9.00-4.00 with all day breakfasts at the weekend, a real hit with a great atmosphere.
